The Danbury storm this morning looked quite mean as it approached, before weakening somewhat just as it came in.

Gut-wrenching coverage of the Covenant School shooting from NewsChannel 5 Nashville, as reporter Hannah McDonald shares that her mother-in-law works at the school’s front desk and was coming back from a break when she heard gunshots coming from inside the building.
James Spann just reported live on air that his house was hit by the Shelby County tornado, and major damage has occurred in his neighborhood. His family is safe, and he is now back on the air keeping Alabamians safe. Was off camera for no more than 10 minutes. Wow.

We left Barton, Vermont at 430pm to go back to Connecticut.
It is 1015pm, and we are still in Vermont.
Totally worth it, but this is easily the most extreme traffic I’ve ever encountered.
Dramatic live coverage from KELO-TV in Sioux Falls, SD, where power flashes can be seen near downtown moments before the station’s feed goes dark.

This is one of the most remarkable storm interactions I can recall. Veritable carousel of circulations as these two storms tango with one another.

Looks like a new monster is developing west of Shawnee/Tecumseh. Unbelievable.

Holy moly that is impressive. Side by side supercells may be attempting to merge. We’ll see how this goes, but there is a whole lot of something happening in the skies over Cleveland and Pottawatomie Counties in central Oklahoma.

Tragic scene unfolding in

Prelim M7.7 quake in SE Turkey, which appears to have been relatively shallow; probably felt across much of the region.
Earthquakes of this magnitude generally require an international response. Significant destruction on a local level is likely.

Really scary stuff. If the altitude data from FR24 is to be believed, it looks like the Southwest plane actually attempted to go airborne, reconsidered, and then still took off.
ATC recordings are probably quite harrowing.
Incredible storm structure a few minutes ago from Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT. Weakly rotating wall cloud was present for several minutes.

This is a significant development, considering the original derailment occurred more than 24hrs ago. Since East Palestine straddles the PA border, I’d be curious to hear whether Keystone State Authorities have issued similar directives.

On my ride home (Metro-North) today I noticed widespread ‘browning’ on the south-facing and southeast-facing trees along the New Haven Line, which I believe was caused by saltwater spray from Isaias last week. I’ll try and get some photos this weekend.

Totality was the most beautiful and awesome thing I have ever seen.

I wish I could capture the sound I’m hearing. I think it’s just the wind aloft vs the wind thru the trees. It’s like an overhead roar; kind of strange, and of a lower pitch than what I’m accustomed to. Spooky af to be honest.
At this point I’m a little nervous for this thin

We left Barton, Vermont at 430pm to go back to Connecticut.

Totally worth it, but this is easily the most extreme traffic I’ve ever encountered.
The roads (main and side) in coastal SW CT have very quickly become snow-covered, even right down to the beaches. Please, please, please take it easy out there, fam.

Also: That feeling when you manage to get your camera settings nearly perfect for the lighting conditions, catch a nearly perfectly placed bolt, and it’s slightly out of focus... 🙃
The velocity signature on the Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin storm is a sight to behold. At 1145pm CDT, KMKX radar was sampling winds in excess of 110mph at 4400 feet in the vicinity of Ripon. Reminiscent of an eyewall scan at times; extremely dangerous to say the least.

The word “possible” probably should have been capitalized/emphasized in the tweet instead of “active shooter.”
This post was seen by 13,000 in ten minutes.
Just food for thought, given that false alarms happen multiple times a day across the country and folks are scared.
To say “Litchfield County was beautiful today” may be the understatement of the year.
Yesterday’s snowstorm dropped quite a lot or quite a little, even across very short distances.
“Wow” was my word of the day.

Lots of information about the M7.8 in Turkey. The location of mainshock is near the intersection of the Dead Sea Transform fault and the East Anatolian fault. The focal mechanism could be either fault.

Awesome capture from my friend Jessi D. in Albuquerque. Witnessing the event through eclipse glasses was a “soul-speaking” experience, in her words.

We are in for a monster of a coastal flooding event in the western Long Island Sound over the next 15hours, I’m sorry to say.
The first high tide is still a few hours away, and water is getting close to breaching the beach crest.

According to the UN’s World Food Program automated disaster response feed, approximately 3,000,000 people live within 50km of the epicenter.
In the context of prior incidents, this is likely to be a major catastrophe for those in the immediate vicinity.

Very fortunate that the winds shifted prior to high tide; had things come together just a few hours later, it’s likely there would have been major problems along the shoreline.
